TBES

Touchscreen Behavioral Evaluation System (TBES)

We refer to TBES as a system because it requires, at a minimum, two freely-downloadable components: a Mac Store App (Apple, Cupertino, California) and a server program that communicates with the TBES APP. The TBES App can be downloaded from the Mac Store free-of-charge. The server program can be downloaded below. More information can be found below.

The server program is written in Visual Basic 6.0 (Microsoft, Redmond, WA). The server contains the code for different experimental procedures and sends commands to the TBES App to display the appropriate stimuli and record responses. TBES is designed to serve as a visual interface for commonly used cognitive and behavioral tasks. It is the hope that this system will facilitate research and broaden our understanding of the processes that underlie visual learning and memory.
